Do we really have to act like this is the worst idea ever? I mean, no it can't happen because of salary cap reasons. But we are talking about a guy who will be 1st team All-NBA. Trying to acquire him isn't necessarily a bad idea.
Kinda, given the guy you'd be trading is 4 years younger, is a walking double-double, an all-star, and looked at as a top-10 player when right.
I don't think it's outrageous, if you're really scared about Kevin's health, which is a legit ? at this point, but even still.
Obviously it's not going to happen, but I don't think Gasol really fits in that well. He's a legit post player, and I think Kevin is more a high post player, that prefers to play on the wing/elbow, even though we strangely don't feature him there.
LeBron doesn't like playing with a guy on the block.
Also, someone mention just playing LB at the 4. Good luck selling him on that. He disputes being a 4, and trying to sell him on that wouldn't go very well.
It's true, later in LB's career, I mean way later (depending how long he wants to play), he's going to have to make that transition whether he likes it or not, if he still wants to play at a pretty high level. But the next 4-5 years, I don't think he has to yet.
